under Pan, whoa* army consisted of from 2,000 to 3,000 meo. He was said to be on hie way to 'Caracas, to separate that part 01 the Republic Voui the other two,, and make it a distinct Govern ment. _ Another Paperatates e r-The account of a rebellion in Colombia, whi c h we published yesterday morning, is so_ brief and so general, that it is impasiible to form any precise idea of its nature or ex tent. ' Indeed the intentions of the insurgents were not well un derstood. at Cauca, The . only conj ec t ure we can make on the subject is, that it has been excited by Gen. Paez, who has exercised great power in that part of the country, and often in such a man ner as to give great dissatisfaction t o th e i n h a bi tants . T wo or three years since, his arbitrary measures were, much complained of, partfcularly by the merchants, as he was considered a man of an overbearing flisposition, and fond of ruilitary power. I n . one case he yescued, a man from civil. custody by f orce , an d he appears to have been watched with anxiety by the Government. If his ambition is actually so restless and unprincipled as some have imagined, it certainly is safer for the country that he now cuts ,off his disguise, than that he should choose. an opportunity when internal dissensions might endanger her independence. We have, however, no apprehension that the effects of such a step as has been taken can prove very important. The people cannot and ground of discontent with the Government, and the influence of the merchants must be ,strongly in favour of peace. The friendly disposition of the French has also added great security to the Government. The army have been threatened with a reduc tion, which, it is very likely, may have furnished ground for their dissatisfaction ; and, if we mistake not, the General's Orders to pre sent himself at Bogota, were for an inquiry into his late conduct. We have frequently adverted to the Diplomatic Cor respondence which has been passing between the .Aus trian •and Netherland Governments relative to the navigation of the Rhine. The following., letter on this subject is stated by the Mornin4. Chronicle to come to them from a source which entitles 'it to the utmost attention. . The writer contends, that the Dutch Government 4:extremely willing to concede what is reasonable ; but, expects, on the other hand, that if the navigation to the sea should be free, as far as Holland is concerned, it should not be interrupted by other State's---that, for example , vessels sh o uld not be de tained at Menti or Cologne, any more than in the Netherlands. "TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sta—ln one of your first numbers of the present month, you briefly alluded to a diplomatic correspondence between the Courts of Austria and Holland, on the subject of the Navigation of the Rhine. Having since perus.d both the Notes, the Austrian as well as the Dutch, as they appeared in the Journal de Frank fort, rcantiot but regret that a press of matter more immediately interesting to the public, should prevent you from giving your Readers a full and impartial view of the case as developed in those important State Papers. " In perusing these two documents, the student of international law will not fail to observe two very different modes of viewing the restoration of the Dutch independence in 1813, and of the subsequent formation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Austrian negotiator pretends to .see in those events nothing but the effects of the supreMe will of the Allied Powers; while on the contrary, the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affeirs attaches great weight to other causes--such as the long-standing connexion between his countrymen and the House of Orange, their opportune insurrection against th e French authorities after the battle of Leipsi!, the regeneration, ex jure post linsini , of the rights of sovereignty, which, in fact, had never become extinct, &c. One would almost feel inclined to say that, in this instanee, the Court of Vienna had shown lesi respect to the doctrine of legitimacy than the King of the Netherlands, who has given proof that, of the titles to the Government, he prizes most of all that derived from the confidence and spontaneous choice of a free people. ",With regard to the original point in discussion, it would seem that the finel settlement of it depends, for the most • part, at present, on a question of form ; since the 'Netherland Govern ment does not absolutely refuse suppressing its prohibitions, and fixing the, transit duties at a low rate, as far as the Rhine is con cerned but at the same time maintains that its consent to these alterations ought to be met, •on the part of its opponents, by a similar measure, for the relief of the trade and navigation of that river it Mintz and Cologne; while, on the other hand, the Aus trian Note constantly represents this obligation on the part of the .Netberlands, as pure and simple, and arising out of the strict let ter orthe Treaties of Paris and Vienna. " In what the said prohibitions and transit duties, as now le vied by the Netherlands, consist, I cannot, at this moment ascer tain with sufficient - accuracy, for want of a Dutch tariff; but, in the Note cif the Netllerhend Minister, it is confidently asserted that the prohibitions do not materially affect any of the most extensive and current articles of trade—and that, ever since 1822, the transit duty has not exceeded one per cent, Surely, then, if this be the case, there has been a great deal more exaggeration than truth , in the expressions which some of your contemporaries have been pleased to make use of to represent the spirit of old Dutch monopoly as keeping .watch at the mouth of that noble river, and separating Germany from . the commerce of the world; whereas the fact is, that the activity of the several branches of the Rhine has•been. regularly on increase during the last years, which circumstance, in my humble opinion, ought to be a sktfficient mo tive with all the parties interested for conducting the negotiation to its final close with more temper and greater mutual forbearance than I suspect has hitherto been the case. " I have the honour to he, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " AN IMPARTIAL OBSERVER. " London, June 29, 1826." We have received this morning from our Corres_. pondent i n J ama i ca, a l etter, d ate d th e :15th May, relative t o th e C araccas h av i ng d ec l are d themselvesin dependent of Colombia You will, of worse, before this reaches you, have heard of the insurrection of General PAEZ in Caraccas, an event which will skew how far diplomatic reports of the stability of Colombia have been well founded or not. The Goirernment must feel itself in an awkward situation ; for, admitting they have disposeable troops sufficient to quell PAU, whichl am sure they have not, how are they to convey them to the seat of discontent ; La Borde, with a '74, and '7 frigates, is at d e Cuba, ready for sea, mid will int ercept any thing going to Porto . Bello for the disposeable troops waiting there, after their feats in Peru; and also any which they may be able to spare from Carthigena, or even gay they may attempt to risk conveying to the Orinoco, whence, by the Rio Meta, despising dangers of no t:onimon sort, they might reach the Clirated. Now internal discord has broken cut, and in the most civilized Proyince, no one can say where it may end. Liberty commenced in Caracas from the Much greater communiestion the inlutbitatits had with Europe, through the smuggling of Trinidad, and the other West India Islands; and oddly enough, she there takes her retrograde step. In short, the ColtiMbiatle must pay for their whistle.

(Signed) R. K. PORTER, Consul.' To the British Merchants at La Guaynt. Jamaica Papers to the 15th May .have reached town this morning, which confirm the accounts of the insurrection in Colombia. The following are extracts; Previous to the departure of the Maria, it was reported at La Guayra that some disturbances had taken place among the military. .The following is from a private letter, addressed to a respectable gentleman:— LAGUATRA, MAY 6. We ate under considerable alarm, in consequence of accounts received from Valencia, stating that Gen. Para had proclaimed the independence of Venezuela free from the otherStatea, and that the oath of allegiance had been taken by all the troops stationed there. Two or three who were dissatisfied in Valencia bad been shot by Pass ; but what effect this may have when Bolivar hears of it, it is impossible to say, but I should think it will bring him this way, when, if he comes and approves of Gen. Pao'e measures in having Venezuela a distinct State, all may be well enough, but if otherwise, a civil war must inevitably ensue. The Galatea, frigate, arrived here the night before last, having on board Alex. Cockburn, Esq., British Minister to Colombia. Our Consul, Sir Robert Ker Porter, has requested Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, to lay here until another British vessel of war arrives for the protection of British property, in the eve* of any serious disturbance. Ido no not apprehend any immediately, but it is not unlikely that some kick-up may eventually take place. NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICAN COFFEE-HOUSE. LA GUAYRA, MAT s.—Valencia has declared itself under a Federal Government. A Deputation has arrived in Caracas, where the same sentiments are entertained, and we expect there fore a similar declaration from the Caraquiaian. The Ga latea, with Mr. Cockburn, came in yesterday a few hours after the merchants here had requested protection of Sir Robert Ker Porter, and recommended his ordering a vessel - of war from Barbadoes. This he has complied with. Private letters received this morning state, that although Gene ral Paez had not yet left Valencia, yet there was no doubt that the people of the Caraccas would immediately join him. The London Gazette, according to the notice which has been given, that it would be printed on Friday instead of Saturday, was published last night, and its contents will be found in our columns. This arrange ment will be a great accommodation to our Country Readers, who will, in consequence of it, get the infor mation contained in the Gazette, two days sooner than heretofore. In alluding to this alteration of the system of the London Gazette we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of stating, that the anxious de sire we have been animated with, to obtain the favour of the public for our own Journal, since it came into our hands, has been already rewarded far beyond what our most sanguine hopes could have led us to expect. The sale' of our Paper has greatly increased, and is rapidly increasing every week ; and this circumstance will act as a fresh stimulus to our unceasing endea vours to establish for this Journal the character and reputation which we are desirous it should possess. By accounts which have reached us this forenoon, We have reason to believe that Mr. BROUGHAM has declined continuing the contest for Westmoreland. This determination is said to have been firmed in consequence of man 7 of what are there termed " Mushroom Votes,' having been polled during Thursday ; and it is added that Mr. BROUGHAM had signified his intention to petition Parliament against the Election. If Mr. BROUGHAM has resigned, it is not owing to any particular class of votes, but to the total failure of his expectations, with respect to the numbers polled for him on Thursday. At the close of the poll on that afternoon, the total numbers stood as follow : Lord Lowther - - - -1,682 Col. Lowther - - 1,668 Mr. Brougham - - - 1,262 THE FUNDS. CITY, Tutslot a' Cloth this Day.

MARTINZZ v.,COOPER• This was an appeal from an order made by his Honour, the Vice-chancellor. The circumstances of the case were of this nature. The plaintiff' was the owner of certain houses in the neighbourhood .of Lon don, and owed to the defendant a sum of 1400/. The id plaintiff was about to : se ll one o f hi s h o uses, al agreed with the defendant to pay him first out of the ~produce of the sale. Mr. Morphat was the plaintiff's solicitor, emplOyed to sell the house ; Mr. Hodson, the defendant's solicitor, went to Mr. M.:previous to the sale, and told him that his.client was to be paid out of the mon ey to be received for the house, and requested Mr. .M. to let him know when the sale and payment took place, which Mr. Morphat pro mised to do. The sale however was completed, and the money paid. over, unknown to Mr. Hodson. The plaintiff' subsequently filed his bill to destroy this al leged mortgage. :Mr. M., in an affidavit he Made, ad nutted that. Mr. H. had called upon :him, .but denied that he was infortned there was any existing mortgage. The Vice-Chancellor directed an issue to try whether Mr. M. and Mr. H. had had the meeting alluded to, and whether what Mr. H. st a t e d t o h a ve passed then was true. The Jury found in favour of the issue ; and When the case came back to the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour decided against the bill ; but, by a sort of consent, made a decree to redeem the snort gage, thereby converting the bill into a bill for the redemption' of the^ mortgage. An ap peal was brought, and upon the best considera tion his Lordship . could give to the case, he was clearly of opinion that the mortgage was a good mort gage to attach on the premises. As to making a de cree to redeem, upon a bill of this nature, was quite against principle, and could not be done. The Court therefore dismissed the bill with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL--.(T u DAY.) WARDLAW V. JONES., This was an action to recover from the defeudant, who is Marshal of the King's Bench prison, the sum of 74/. 10s., under the following circumstances:— The plaintiff having obtained judgment against Mr. Stanley, an attorney, for the above sum, had him ar rested, and confined in the King's Bench prison, on the 9th of January last. On the 23d of February following he was seen at large in Pancras-Zane, Cheap side, which is without the rules of the prison. It was consequently held that the Marshal was liable for the debt. 1 It having appeared in evidence that Mr. Stanley had paid 20/. of the debt to the plaintiff; the Jury, by the direction of the Chief Justice, gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages .54/. 10s. PARIS Y. HAY. Mr. Scaittirr stated that this was an action brought to reco ver compensation in damages, for the injury which the plaintiff sustained through the misconduct of the defendant. The plaintiff was a poor man, who made hialivelihoocl by hawk ing blacklead pencils through the streets, whereby he cleared ROL a week. The defendant was a wealthy tradesman, who happened to be driving a horse and chaise, about Zi o'clock in the after noon, on the elst of November last, to Houndeditell, when be came in contact with the plaintiff, who wag on the right side of the road, and knocked him down 'in the mud, and rode over him, whereby he was maimed, lost a part of his cheek, was as yet deaf and lame, and had been confined for 18 weeks in an hospital. Mr. SCARLETT contended that the ibtintiff wjp entitled to com pensation, not only for the injury reserved, but also for the loss of time. Witnesses were then Trilled to prove the cue. Mr. COMYN addressed the Jury for the defendant in mitigation of damages, but offered no evidence. The Loan CHtst , Jusncr said, that if any of the witnesses were to be believed the Jury must give a verdict for the plain tiff; for they had 'alt sworn that the defendant had acknow !edged the accident to have arion from the negligence of his servant, in not fixing a curb to his bridle. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 31/. 10.. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—(Twis DAT.) JAMES' V. GRAY. This was an action to recover compensation in da mages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff being thrown from his horse by the defendant's coach. The plaintiff' is a respectable surgeon, residing in Croydon : the defendant was th e p ro p rie t or o f th e " Royal Patriot" Brighton coach. The plaintiff had been thrown from his horse, and by falling under the wheel of the coach had his leg broken. The plaintiff endeavoured to prove that the accident was caused by the negligence of the driver, while the defendant contended that it was caused by the shying of the plaintiff's horse. Th© Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff-- Damages 30/. ADMIRALTY SESSIONS.-.. , (Titis DAY.) This day a general Session was held at Justice Hall in the Old Bailey, before Lord STOWELL, the Judge of the High Court of Admiralty, for the trial of offences committed uo the high seas, within the jurisdiction of England. After the Grand Jury were sworn, Lord STOWELL addressed them, saying, that there were only two cases for trial. One was a charge against three mariners of piracy, in dispossessing the master of a merchant vessel of his com mand, which was ,a capital o ff ence. The other was a charge of a certain description against the mate of a ship. The Grand Jury found a true bill against George Blamer, Daniel Fleming, and Samuel sell, for piracy. ADMIRAL JOHN HOLLOWAY. On Monday, the 26th ult., died at his residence in Wells, Somersashire, in the 84th year of hi. age, John Holloway, Esq., Admiral of the Red SqUadron of his Majesty's Fleet. This respectabli Officer was made a Poet Captain on the 28d January, 1780, and was particularly distinguished for his ctinduct at the relief of Gibraltar in collecting the transports which had been dispersed, and taking them in for the delivery of their cargoes.

Last evening his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Prince Polignac, Lord Farnborough, Secretary Canning, Mr. Secretary Peel, and Mr. Arbuthnot, arrived at the Royal Lodge.—The above distinguish ed personages had the honour of dining and passing the evening with his Majesty, and departed this morning for their respective residences.

GREAT WESTMINSTER DAIRY COMPANY.—A Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held yesterday, at which it was unanimously resolved to take into consideration the most effectual mode' of winding up `the affairs, and dissolving the Association. Wolves are very frequently seen at Ecommoy and Marjet, in the department of the Sarthe. A short time since a she-wolf seized a child by its frock, and dragged it away in the presence of its mother, who followed it to its den, where she found her child in the midst of nine cubs, without injury. The cubs were instantly killed by the neighbours, but the dam escaped.—French Paper. The title-of Fevershatn is a revived one in the Duncombe family. It became extinct in the year 1763, by the death, without male isspe, of Anthony Duncombe, Lord Fevershtun, who was first Cousin of Thomas Duncombe, .Esq., grandfather to the present nobleman. Their early a n c e s t ors res id e d at Barley end, Bucks, in the parish of Ivingho, or Ivanhoe (a well...known name at the present day), and became al numerous family, which was divided into several branches in the reigns of King Henry VIII. and King Edward VI. The name of Duncombe is supposed, in Collins's Peerage, to be derived from the Saxon words Dunn' and c Combe'—the first signifying a hill or hilly plain ; the latter a valley between hills, or a val ley encompassed with trees. This (it is added) ex actly answered to the situation of the ancient family place of Barley-end ; and now, by a remarkable coin cidence, it describeel, with equal exactness, that of the residence of the present Lord Feversham, at Dun cmnbe Park. On Fridalt the 16th ult., an elegant dinner was given at Stamfordham, in Northumberland, to a large party of the friends of the much-respected family of Milboume Hall, in consequence of Nathaniel Bates, Esq. attaining that day his 21st year. The young Gentleman joined in the dancing and festivities of the evening. - The gay favours (crimson and white) of the Hon. Henry Thomas Liddell were very conspi cuous on the occasion. The picturesque ruins of Brambletye House, stand ing upon the borders of Ashdown Forest, Sussex, have become an abject of public curiosity, and have attracted many visitors since the publication of Mr. Horace Smith s Novel, in which are developed many extraordinary scenes which took place in that mansion during the protectorate of Oliver Cromw e ll. At th a t time - Brambletye House was the residence of the Comptons, and it was within its walls that many of the plots of the cavaliers against the Commonwealth, were hatched. THE CHIMNEY SWEEPERS .-- When the rumour prevailed in this country of a French invasion, two chimney sweep ers fell into a co n v ersa ti on on t h e times. " Jack, said one of the sable politicians "what is it to us ? our trade has, nothing either to hope or fear from any change in government what need we care ? we shall be chimney sweepers still." " That is a mistake," replied Jack, "for when the French come they will bring Vrench chimney sweepers along wit] them, and we shall be out of employ.' STA VS.—A curious edict was passed by the Eni peror Joseph the Second, to restrain the use ant fashion of stays ; in the preamble it set forth, that they impaired the health, and impeded the growth o : the fair sex ; in all orphan houses, nunneries, am] other places of public education, they were strictly for. bidden, and young ladies still persisting in the fashion Were threatened with the loss of the customary ilia'. gencies and " countenance" which were bestowed on their class ; thus they were made a sort of immorali ty. The College of Physicians also was enjoined to draw up a dissertation in support of the Itoyal which was distributed gratis. But what can a N o . narch do against fashion ? The liberty of the corset was soon established in Austria in its full severity.

Crops will be very light; the continuance of dry cold winds, which prevailed before the warm weather took place, and the almost total want of rain for the last ten or twelve weeks, will sufficiently ac count for this.—CallicAloN Paper.

The growth of apples is so abundant in some of :he cider-districts, that it is expected the price will iot be more than 30i. the hogshead, at what is called he pound's mouth:----Devizes Gazette.
